Awesome post, great information, but I have to add an important clarification:
Originally Posted By Ripak:

Any place where intoxicating liquor is sold for consumption on the premises, except a restaurant where the person carrying the firearm did not consume intoxicating liquor. This is true only if you are carrying a concealed handgun. That is, open carry in a restaurant (which serves alcohol) is illegal in this state. (See AS 11.61.220(d)(1)(B) [apologies if this is not a perfectly accurate legal citation –– IANAL]) IANAL, but so far as I can tell this is the only provision in AK state law that restricts open carry differently than concealed carry (aside from the fact that you have to be 21 for the latter but not the former). I've written a couple of times to my state reps about this (as far as I'm concerned, the fix is to allow open carry in restaurants that serve alcohol), and received only silence in response. I know CCW is the more popular method to carry, but since there's no clarification that "carry" here isn't meant to apply equally to open carry I thought I should point out this distinction in the law. |
